What is Team Parkinson's

Seattle-to-Portland (STP) Bicycle ClassicThe cornerstone of our Team Parkinson’s campaign is the 204-mile Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic held July 11-12, 2015. Now in its 36th year, the STP is the largest multi-day ride in the Northwest with up to 10,000 riders making the journey through Western Washington and Oregon. Team Parkinson's members fundraise for NWPF and in exchange enjoy hosted stops throughout the ride and receive a custom cycling jersey. Register with Cascade for the STP here.

A Walk in the ParkTeam Parkinson's first annual Walk in the Park will be on Saturday, July 25, 2015. This event will bring people with Parkinson’s, carepartners, professionals and friends together in one place to celebrate our daily accomplishments despite our difficulties. A two-mile walking course through the beautiful lake-side trails of Magnuson Park offers individuals a chance to exercise, raise awareness, build community, and raise funds all at the same time. More details to come, but you can register today!

What is Team Parkinson's?

Team Parkinson’s is an enthusiastic group of supporters who raise funds and awareness for the Northwest Parkinson’s community. Now in its 15th year, Team Parkinson’s has raised over $1.2 million and inspired more than 1,500 people to walk, bike, hike and run to support the cause. Together team members have finished more than 305,000 miles on their journey toward hope and wellness.

By joining Team Parkinson’s, members commit to raising funds and awareness for Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation. Through the NWPF’s website, members create personal donation pages and recruit supporters to help raise funds for their efforts. Members receive online community support from fellow team members and the joy of raising funds and awareness for the Parkinson’s community.

Participation in Team Parkinson's is however, not restricted to the STP or A Walk in the Park. Individuals and groups are encouraged to create their own activity - be it a run, walk, swim - and use the Team Parkinson's platform for inspiration and motivation while raising needed support for Parkinson's care.
